If Kelly is successful following the success of Harbaugh and Carroll this may be the beginning of the end of retread coaches. Interesting to see how he does. He does have some speed on offense to work with though.
___________________________

Chip Kelly doesnt have a QB on the roster right now that can play well enough in a Harbaugh or Carroll Scheme. Not many teams do because these players arent a dime a dozen. Very few QBs can make happen what some of these guys make happen. Not to mention, these schemes are untested in the NFL. One season proves nothing. The ability to adapt the system to produce year in and year out is the real measure. I dont see the read option being around after a couple more seasons.

It also makes you long for the silence of Andy Reid. He may not have said anything, but at least it wasn’t stupid. Reminding me a lot of Ray Rhodes in that final year, too…

With the Eagles being 20 plus million dollars under the salary cap, please explain to me why Michael Vick needs to take a paycut?
20 plus million dollars is enough kelly greens to fix the offensive line which was the weakest link of the 2012 Philadelphia Eagles. Plus the Eagles have a top 4 draft pick so rebuilding the offensive line should be easy.
Anyone who thinks differently is uncivilized.——————————————————————————————————————————the offensive line will be fixed by doctors not dollars. and Mike Vick will be cut, he can’t play.

Fri, 18 Jan 2013 01:33:16 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1646014#comment-2271618I am sure he will have some say on personnel. Who would want to coach a team when the owner and GM say “Here is your guys, bring me a Lombardi”.

That being said, I am guessing that the managemnt in Philly wants to make sure Chip does what is best to build a team that can win. Drafting players and picking up FAs isnt a guessing game or a deal where if you really like a player. you need him. But Chip will learn everything in short order. Draft is in April, lets see what happens.
